Truely portable solution for quick
and precise spectrum analysis
B&K Precision’s 2650A series handheld
spectrum analyzers are compact, light weight,
and cost-effective spectrum analyzers for quick
and precise signal investigations, especially away
from the bench. At a weight of only 1.8 kg
(4 pounds), the 2650A series are by far the
lightest full-featured spectrum analyzer
available, yet they deliver performance and
features comparable to full-size bench spectrum
analyzers and can operate up to 4 hours on a
single battery.
With their ease of use, measurement flexibility,
and unmatched portability, the 2650A series
analyzers are indispensible tools for engineers
and technicians who conduct field measure-
ments in the 50 kHz to 8.5 GHz range.

Versatile measurement functions
Channel power measurement
Allows you to measure the total power or
noise power in a user-specified
bandwidth.
Electric field strength measurement
A dipole antenna (options M401 – M406)
connected to the RF input enables the measure-
ment of electric field strength. Users can choose
from 6 antennas based on the frequency range
under investigation. Each antenna’s resonance
point is optimized for the frequency spectrum of
a specific wireless standard:
• M401 is suitable for GSM 850/900
• M403 for W-CDMA and GSM 1800/1900
• M404 for 2.4 GHz wireless LAN and
Bluetooth
• M406 for 5 GHz wireless LAN
Combined with the MAX HOLD function and a
10 ms sweep time, the M404 dipole antenna is
capable of measuring the electric field strength of
Magnetic field strength measurement
Using a magnetic field probe (option PR 26M),
the 2650A series is capable of accurately
measuring the magnetic field distribution on a
PCB (printed circuit board) or IC (integrated
circuit). The magnetic field strength detector
inside the probe consists of a shielded loop
structure using a glass ceramic multi-layer board
technology with high frequency characteristics.
This enables the detection of magnetic field
components only. The probe can measure over a
wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 3 GHz.
Since the probe’s compensation data is already
preloaded into the analyzer, the magnetic field
strength is displayed directly in dBuA/m.
Adjacent channel power
Measure the ratio of power leakage (from the
wanted signal) into adjacent channels. Center
frequency, adjacent channel bandwidth, and
offset between main carrier and adjacent
channels can be set.
Users can select from any of the following three
measurement methods based on the reference
carrier definition: total power (of displayed spec-
trum), peak power (reference level) and in-band
power (user-specified band width).
Bluetooth systems and systems using direct
sequence spread spectrum/frequency hopping
modulation techniques.
Using multiple dedicated dipole antennas leads
to better measurement results compared to the
conventional method of using only a single wide
band antenna in which case the frequency range
under investigation is typically located far away
form the antenna's resonance point, resulting in
poor dynamic range. Measuring at or near the
resonance point where the antenna gain is at a
maximum translates into high dynamic
measurement range.
Typical applications of this magnetic field probe
are evaluation of the effectiveness of a bypass
capacitor located near the power supply terminal
of an IC or evaluation of the microstrip layout on
a PCB. Due to the probe’s high spatial
resolution (approximately 0.25 mm), it is not
affected by adjacent patterns.
Occupied Bandwidth
This measurement calculates the bandwidth
containing the total integrated power occupied in
a given signal bandwidth. Two measurement
methods are available: The user can specify N%
of total power or the X dB down point relative to
the carrier peak level.
Since the antenna gain factor compensation data
is preloaded into the analyzer, the field strength
is displayed directly in dBuV/m. The analyzers
also support downloading of user-defined gain
factor tables for custom antennas.

Calculation and Marker functions
Max and Min Hold
Max Hold: At each displayed frequency, the
currently-measured value is compared to the
previously-measured value and the larger one is
retained and displayed. This feature is useful for
observing a bursted or intermittent signal or for
measuring the electric field strength of systems
using direct sequence spread spectrum/frequency
hopping modulation techniques.
Overwrite
The results of each consecutive sweep are
displayed and the screen is not cleared after each
sweep. This lets you observe the long term
variations of a signal.
Peak Function
Two different modes are available for peak
search:
■
Normal peak search mode searches for the
highest level on the screen. In this mode, you
can also use the NEXT button to locate the
marker on the next smaller peak.
■
In-zone peak search mode searches for the
peak level in the range specified by the center
value and width.
Min hold: At each displayed frequency, the
currently-measured value is compared to the
previously-measured value and the smaller one is
retained and displayed.
In both cases, the number of sweeps can be set
to 2
N
, where N is from 1 to 10 or infinite.
Marker Function
Two different modes are available for marker
measurements:
■
Normal marker mode measures the
frequency and level of the marked point
■
Delta marker mode measures the frequency
and level differences between the two
markers (see image)
The picture shown demonstrates in-zone peak search.
Averaging
The analyzer continuously sweeps, then
calculates and displays the average value over the
total number of sweeps. The number of sweeps
can be set to 2N, where N is from 1 to 10.
Averaging is useful for detecting signals buried in
the noise floor because random noise is averaged
out.

The 2650 series handheld spectrum analyzers
are straightforward to operate and provide many
functions to facilitate quick and easy
measurements:
Smart one button “Auto Tune" function which
automatically scans the full frequency range,
detects and centers the maximum signal, and
configures optimum values for RBW, VBW,
sweep time and reference level
Input attenuator and internal preamp are set
automatically to optimal values based on the
reference level
Easy configuration of frequency, span, and
amplitude
Marker and peak search functions enabling
rapid measurements
200 setups and reference spectrum
measurements can be stored and recalled from
either internal memory or USB flash drive
Filenames can be customized and include a
date and time stamp.
Large easy-to-read display. The backlight is
adjustable and monochrome mode can be
used for extreme lighting conditions
Long battery life
The 2650A provides a battery operating time of
up to 4 hours (approximatly 3 ½ hours with
back light set to typical settings). Battery
replacement is simple and doesn’t require any
hand tools. To fully charge the lithium-ion
battery takes only approximately 4 hours
(analyzer must be turned off). A two color LED
indicates the charging status “charging”, “charge
completed”, “no battery detected” and “charging
error”.
